Let's all admit it now: we loved arts and crafts in elementary school, where the teacher would dump a huge pile of colored construction paper on the edge of a worktable, and armed with scissors, crayons, white glue, mucelage or library paste, we'd all attempt to create something fun, pretty, profound, or (depending on the type of kid you were) just plain weird. I never quite got over the working with paper thing and I'm pretty talented with a pair of scissors and a utility knife. As I do more and more with paper sculpture, I'll put them up here.
